IMPROVEMENT IN CURDHCU'TTERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 50,290, dated October 3, 1865.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRISTOPHER WADs- WORTH, of East Livermore, in the county of Androscoggin and State ot' Maine, have invented a new and useful Machine for Cutting; Ourd, (title: 0. Wadsworths GurdOutter, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact. description of the con- `struction Iand operation of the same, reference being` had lo the annexed drawing, making part of this specication, in Which- Figure l is a perspective View. and ot' full size.

Letter T, and colored hlue, represents sheettin,of which it is all composed,exceptingeight steel slicers, (marked S and painted red,) the outer one being wide to strengthen it. Three sides are formed of tin. It is eight inches long, seven wide, and seven high, with Wire running around the top and rolls or handles whole length of sides 5 also, a division between the squares and slicers. A person using it holds it by the rolls and presses the Slicers upon the curd, beginning at one side ot' the curd, and laying aside the slices; then, turning the inachine and pressing the squares on these slices, the curd is out as ine as is necessary.

With this machine one person may cut the curd for a sixty-pound cheese in five minutes, which takes by the usual hand process over two hours. It has been proved to entire satisfaction in a dairy of forty cows for one year.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a machine for cutting curd, as herein described, both the slicers and squares in combination.

CHRISTOPHER WADSWORTH.
